" What a delightful experience at Al Layali! I visited for dinner last week and was treated to the most authentic Egyptian flavors I've had outside of Egypt. The koshari was flavorful and had the perfect balance of spices. The staff treated me like family, making the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great Middle Eastern food. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has potential but needs to address their service issues. The food was not bad, but the service left much to be desired. It was chaotic, and they mixed up our orders a few times. The atmosphere didn't help as it felt cramped and loud. I hope they improve because I loved their concept! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Al Layali was filled with mixed feelings. The food was good—the spicy shrimp kabobs were fantastic! But the service was lacking, and the wait time for our food was excessive. I understand they were busy, but they should be better prepared for peak hours. Overall, I'm hopeful to see improvements next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a very unsatisfactory experience here. The service was incredibly slow, and our orders were mixed up. The food wasn't terrible but certainly didn't live up to the hype. Overall, I was really looking forward to this meal, but I walked away disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent experience with the best authentic Egyptian flavors in LA! The food absolutely reminded me of my trips to Egypt. The koshari was delightful, and the ambiance added to the experience. The owner is a gem, so welcoming and friendly! I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't impressed with my meal here. The falafel and dolmas seemed old and lacked flavor. I expected so much more based on the reviews. The atmosphere felt cluttered and noisy, making it hard to enjoy the meal. Would not recommend for food, although the hookah was decent. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently dined here with friends and was pleasantly surprised. The lentil soup was splendid, and we really enjoyed the hospitality. I also loved how open and laid-back the atmosphere is. I will return for the hookah and possibly to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
